What Sucks…The Reaper

The Reaper is on a serious baseball kick these days, yet Kevin Costner and Curt Schilling walk the streets free and in defiance- I don’t get it AT all. But anyway, good night James Gammon, the veteran character actor known to many people in my generation as the guy who played Lou Brown, in the “Major League” movies. His incredible mustache and great, gravelly voice could give any man a run for his money when it came to being grizzled.

Outside of Major League, Gammon had a home doing the plays of Sam Shepard and won a Tony Award for his performance in “Buried Child”. Also, he made his film debut in the classic “Cool Hand Luke”, but for many, it will be Lou Brown who he is remembered for, which is okay because he was great in that movie. So remember him from there, and make sure it’s the first “Major League” film and not the second where they replace Willie “Mays” Hayes with an entirely new actor and act like everything is the same.

What Sucks Mission Statement

Suckiness surrounds us all, gripping us in a vice-like hold, with the ferocity of a bear trap made of shit. My mission? To offer insight and shed understanding on the vast, seemingly endless, black hole of crap each one of us has to face on a daily basis. And while that torrent of bullshit is both mammoth in scope and unyielding in its advance, at least here it can be called it out for what it is- a lot of shit that really sucks.

So join me- everyday I’ll shine the spotlight on something that sucks. And your comments, until you weird me out, are always welcome. That being said, thanks for stopping by and sorry everything sucks so bad.
